*Doing my Friday Happy Dance*
…Oh, hello there!
For breakfast this morning I had 2 slices of light wheat toast with PB and a sliced banana along with 1 cup of 1% milk for 7 points.
For my first break, I had 1/2 cup of light yogurt with 1/2 cup of raspberries for 1 point.
I also had 1/2 serving of Special K crackers and 1 Tbs. Sundried Tomato hummus for 1.5 points.
For lunch, I had a cup of Vegetarian Chili topped with light sour cream and FF cheddar cheese and also a PB&J on a sandwich thin for 7 points.
Dessert was a banana drizzled with chocolate syrup for 2.5 points.
I got a fun package today for all kinds of samples to try and then review!! I’m so excited to try them out.
Hubby got home at 2:30, at the same time as my break time! I was happy to see him! We split one of the samples, a Rocky Road Protein bar. 2 points.
Mmmhmm! Delicious!
I also brought back a cup of coffee with Pumpkin Spice Creamer for 1 point.
At the end of the day I got a tweet that I won a $25 gift card from Panera!! That was so exciting!! The original tweet was:
So I tweeted:
And I was surprised to see this:
How fun! I will definitely be taking my Mom out for lunch after I receive this!
After work, hubby and I headed out for supper. We decided to have Chinese since we hadn’t had Chinese in a really long time. I actually don’t remember the last time. For the first time, we split a meal instead of getting our own, and it was perfect. 
We started out with egg drop soup and I ate one crab Rangoon for 4 points.
For the entrée, I had about 1 cup of peanut chicken and 1/2 cup of white rice for 11 points. Hubby was so embarrassed I used the flash. lol
And a fortune cookie for 2 points. I really liked the fortune!
It was really funny because when hubby went up to pay, I waited at the table because he was going to come back to leave the tip when he got change. This is a restaurant that we used to go to a lot. Just a local, Chinese restaurant that is awesome. The owner had gotten to know us a bit because it’s a small town. Well, when hubby went to pay she said to him, “You two look so good! I haven’t seen you in a long time!” and pointed over at me. How funny is that! Someone that you wouldn’t think would notice. That really made me feel good!
And before I continue, I’m going to let you know that I planned on using weekly points tonight, so you don’t think I’m going out of control. I actually felt very much in control. First, I scooped out what I felt like I wanted to eat at the restaurant and didn’t eat any more than that. Hubby wanted a little something sweet afterwards, so we stopped at the grocery store and bought a box of two Smart One’s peanut butter cup sundae type things. These were really good and only 3 points each!
And a while later, we went to the quaint little movie theater that only charges $2 a person and saw Life as We Know it. It was really cute!! This theatre has the best caramel popcorn combo that I LOVE for 5 points, but they didn’t make any tonight! I was disappointed. But instead, hubby brought me back a package of chewy sweet tarts, which I ate two of and put the rest away. This was 2 points.
And then we headed home! The movie made hubby and I want to have kids, which we talk about a bit more often lately.
And after all of that, I still have weekly points left. It was a nice, controlled indulgence, which I feel is part of life. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t want to do it again tomorrow! Once a week is good for me.
Have a great weekend!!
